I have only seen natural finishes on them... would love to see a burst archtop spalted maple top.

Can spalted maple tops be painted?

Never seen one either.
I have a CS Warrior in the works which will be transparent black on a spalt maple top

Somebody else will probably be able to give a better answer, but to my knowledge spalted wood is usually stabilized with something like a plastic resin so it can be worked with. Otherwise, it's got areas that are soft or crumbly and will fall apart, and some areas would soak up finish like a sponge and others wouldn't. I don't know if you could stain stabilized wood, but I don't see any reason some kind of transparent color couldn't be sprayed on.
